AuthorTopic: Favorite Beatle album cover? (Read 22927 times)

I love the story about how they got Rubber soul to have that distorted look. It makes me smile.

The guy that took their pictures had a piece of cardboard cut out to the size of an album and was showing them the possible pictures of them for the cover with a slide viewer, and they picked that picture and one of the legs of the viewer fell off the table it was on and the picture got distorted (the way it looks on the album). and according to Paul, they all freaked out and got excited and asked "Can we have that?!?" and he made it happen for them.

My Fave is With the Beatles. I love that black and White with the shadows. Its such an awesome look. I've always loved that cover then best. My 2nd favorite is Beatles for Sale. I've heard the cover is supposed to represent the 4 seasons but the only season I can see is Autumn...forturnatly thats also my favorite season.

Well... almost every Beatles album cover is iconic (this band really excelled in everything)... Furthermore the colours on the album often reflect the music contained in it (pure genius). This choice is just impossinle.

my fav covers by them are probley on With the Beatles (roll over beethoven, please mr postman, devil in her heart) . strangest thing is they didn't just do the song like the original, they sortof changed it in their 'beatle-way' and made sound slightly different.

I have to say that that I think the iconism (?) in some cases is more to do with the fact that they're Beatle albums, not because of the quality of the cover. A shot of them crossing a road isn't particularly clever or inspired - it wouldn't be iconic if someone else did it. Likewise Please Please Me, Help! and Let It Be. Nothing particularly artful or original about them - just iconic for what they represent (as opposed to being a result of their all encompassing genius). Phew.Sorry, but I can't see that colour thing either.
